about

On february 21st 2012 a group of young women in the
Russian punk band called Pussy Riot, with colourful
stockings pulled over their heads, staged a performance
at the altar of Moscow’s Christ the Saviour Cathedral.
Their show was far from orthodox by punk standards:
they were lip synching, they didn’t break or burn anything,
and they were wearing dresses that could be described
as pretty. The band was arrested after the performance,
and the ordeal of the three jailed band members has
drawn worldwide attention to the incident and to the
social injustices they sang about in “their punk prayer”
in which they yelled for the virgin Mary to chase away
Putin. After nearly half a year on trial, the three women
were taken into custody and were sentenced to several
years in prison for “hooliganism motivated by religious
hatred.” There is something going on here that is bigger
than the band’s anti-Putinism. The incident reflects the
tensions of a generation fed up with the inequality,
decadence, and instability of the 1990’s in Russia.
Pussy Riot is only one group in a broader confrontation
with church and state in the post-communist era, through
public performances characterized by irony and satire.
What makes Pussy Riot unique is not only that they are
women demanding visibility, but also that they are the
core of a generation with little to no memory of communism.
And in many ways, this is a story from all times.

lyrics

Putin riot, how long will we buy it?
this arrogant prick doesn't even hide it
putting punk bands up for trial
for refusing to live in denial

totalitarian fuck!
off with his fucking cock!

afraid of some girls who speak for equality
and might just wake up your corrupt society
one day the people will cut off your head
they won't take this until they are dead

totalitarian fuck!
off with his fucking cock!

Corrupt macho fuck!
Off with your cock
Cut off his head!
Don't wait 'till your dead!

about

kingterror Antwerp, Belgium

KINGTERROR is a DIY hardcorepunk band from Belgium.

We do not care about who is the best. We prefer bands, venues, distro’s and labels that have something to stand for other than how cool their shit is. This is hardcorepunk!

Hardcorepunk without content is totally useless, like beer without alcohol. We want to share information and frustration and say what we think needs to be said.
